RUNNING OF rLECrmlC.CARs.
Two of Them Climb the Franklin
Atrcet Hill Together.

Two cars Of the Union Passenger Rail
way Company travelled over nearly the
ebiire length OF the line yesterday after
noon. They started from the sheds,
Twenty-ninth and p streets, and went
ont beyond the Old reservoir, and would
have goae further, but the hour was
growing late and Mr.. Sprague, who was
operating one Of the cars, wanted to get
Lacl, TO the city in time to catch the
evening train for New York.
While these two cars were running up
town two other cars were traversing the
Church Hill loop, where the motor-men
receive their daily Instructions. The
climbing OF the two cars. quite close to
each other up the Franklinstreet hill
(near the ExchaDge) is regarded as a
very severe test, for when the line is
opened to the public the cars will be
wider apart, and therefore will not tax
any one part of the circuit for go much
electricity. u
In about week the company will
start running with about ten cars, and q
few days later put on ten more.
The ground wires, which are being
placed on the poles at different points,
should be covered. because when touched
they give one quite severe shock.

AT recent meeting OF the Board Of
Trustees Of the Masonic Temple Asso-

ierred to IN an item in yesterday paper,
which spoke of the sale "of Broad

ton OF Virginia, work upon the build
ing is to be commenced by the lst OF
July next. or earlier if possible, and
having ample means at command for
that purpose, there seems to he now no
difficulty in pushing the work to compile
ton.
It is designed to erect q four-story
building, with commodious and desiia-
bic stores on the first floor, and all the
necessary rooms for Masonic purposes,
as well as large public hall suitable for
concerts, balls, lectures, &c, on the

second floor.
The lot fronts 104 feet on Broad street,
running back 1877 feet to a wide alley,
and was purchased from Mr.. James
Gunn for SlS,0 900 cash.
Tbs enterprise Of the Masonic frater-
nifty will have an important influence IN
stimulating business on west Broad

among the handsomest in the city.
